Casa
de la Luz and Location
|
|
Casa
de la Luz (house of the light) is situated in the little Moorish
whitewashed village of La Garnatilla in the foothills of
the Sierra Nevada mountains overlooking the Costa Tropical de
Granada.
While
the village is peacefully tucked away among the terraced hillsides
of olives and almonds, the town of Motril is only 8kms away,
where there are excellent shops, bars and restaurants. Beaches are
within 15 minutes by car.
|
 |
| The
house accommodates 4 people and is built on 2 floors in traditional
Andalucian style with wooden shutters, terra cotta tiled floors and
is newly furnished and refurbished throughout. It consists of one
double bedroom, one twin bedroom, bathroom, well
equipped and new kitchen and large sitting/dining room. While many
houses in the village are inaccessible by car, it is possible to take
a car to the front door of Casa de la Luz for loading/unloading. At
other times parking is in the church square, a minute´s walk away.
A car is essential. While the house is centrally located in
the village, it offers wonderful views over the sea and the surrounding
hillsides. |
|
From
the village you will find many hiking trails lined with wild herbs and
an abundance of flora and fauna, an ideal setting for bird watching. For
the more adventurous there are many activities nearby such as sailing,
scuba diving and wind surfing on the coast to cycling, climbing, horse
riding and hang-gliding in the hills.

 |
|
The
Sierra Nevada, Spain's highest mountain range, is a magnificent
backdrop to this partly undiscovered area of Spain. The area enjoys
a microclimate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees
in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer.
|
| The
beaches and coves are unspoilt, there are golf courses in Granada
(18 holes) and Los Moriscos golf course (9 holes) just 5kms
from Motril which runs along the seafront lined with palm trees
and has a good restaurant and bar. There is also the Marina at the
Port of Motril. In the winter months you can ski in the Sierras in
the morning and sunbathe on one of the numerous beaches along the
coast in the afternoon. |
 |
| This
is the old Andalucian part of Spain, complete with fiestas, whitewashed
villages, Moorish castles and the local food and wine are excellent and
cheap, unrivalled seafood, famous Serrano ham in the Alpujarras and the
rustic Costa wine is uniquely Spanish. |
|
The
area is rich in history, from the Moorish Alhambra Palace
in Granada (just 50 minutes by car) to the Alpujarras region.
The coastal towns of Almeria, Almunecar, Salobrena
and Nerja are also well worth a visit.
